About the author: David Carnoy is an executive editor at CNET and is interviewed regularly on television as a tech expert, appearing on CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, and other media outlets. He is the author of the acclaimed thriller Knife Music and lives in New York City with his wife and children.

A tad predictable and a lot of the atmospherics are driven by dialogue. While Carnoy's ear for character voice is quite good, Bray was challenged by Sinatra. No he isn't awful and I'll listen to more work from both Carnoy and Bray... Still this time the duo didn't live up to their promise in Carnoy's earlier introduction to this ensemble cast in Knife Music. In this case Bray got the words... but lacked the music.
